Escapist - Jamie's Elsewhere

Who's there knocking at my window? The Owl and the Dead Boy This night whispers my name All the dying children Virgin snow beneath my feet Painting the world in white I tread the way and lose myself into a tale Come hell or high water My search will go on Clayborn Voyage without an end A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light It all starts with a lullaby Journey homeward bound A sound of a dolphin calling Tearing off the mask of man The Tower my sole guide This is who I am Escapist, paradise seeker Farewell now time to fly Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light It all starts with a lullaby A nightingale in a golden cage That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life A nightingale ...

I walk the path laid out before me, Desperate hand fail to hold onto all the moments of the past. Its a fate that comes to us all, Blindfolded we walk to our demise. So I'll take my chances in this life, No second thoughts, No turning back. Blindfolded I walk the path laid out before me. Desperate hands fail to hold onto every day and every night spent. Every moment I keep locked inside me. I will not forget you, but I must carry on in this ocean. With every breath bringing me closer, I'll let the waves take me where they will. I will live this day like its my last, Because one day I will not escape the rising tide. I'll take my chances in this life. I am not afraid to lose it all.

I love the time and in-between The calm inside me In the space where I can breathe I believe there is A distance I have wandered To touch upon the years Of reaching out and reaching in Holding out, holding in I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand? I know this love is passing time Passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire But I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out Hold me near I believe, I I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand? Oh, the quiet child awaits the day When she can break free The mold that clings like desperation Mother, can't you see I've got to live my life The way I feel is right for me? Might not be right for you But it's right for me, oh I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand it? I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to Would you understand it? Would you try?
